Interview at Symantec - Friday, May 13, 2005
This afternoon I had my first in-person interview down at Symantec in Santa Monica. Prior to it, I told myself to stop worrying whether or not I would get the position, but to go into the interview giving my all and using it as a learning experience.
The interview was broken into four parts. I think I did relatively fine in the first two, but in the latter two where I had to write some code and talk about myself, I made some mistakes. Altogether I didn't come across as a strong candidate, and that's something I'll have to work on and learn by doing.
I'm definitely glad for the extra bit of experience I've acquired today. I'm not too dishearted because I didn't expect much from the start. I gave it my all, and that's what's important. The only thing that sucks is that I have a callus on each ankle from those AWFUL dress shoes. =)
Oh, and Happy Friday the 13th!
